The Emergence of Systematic Management as Shown by the Literature of Management from 1870-1900

The Emergence of Systematic Management as Shown by the Literature of Management from 1870-1900

This study originally published in 1986 is directed to the period before the establishment of scientific management as a recognised movement in an attempt to answer two basic questions: was there a body of management literature immediately preceding the emergence of scientific management? Did this literature if it existed have a central concept or approach which could be recognised? This title will be of interest to students of business studies and management. | The Emergence of Systematic Management as Shown by the Literature of Management from 1870-1900

Large Hadron Collider Phenomenology

Large Hadron Collider Phenomenology

With the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) under construction and due to come online in 2007 it is appropriate to engage in a focused review on LHC phenomenology. At a time when most of the experimental effort is centered on detector construction and software development it is vitally important to direct the experimental community and in particular new researchers on the physics phenomena expected from the LHC. Large Hadron Collider Phenomenology covers the capabilities of LHC from searches for the Higgs boson and physics beyond the standard model to detailed studies of quantum chromodynamics the B-physics sectors and the properties of hadronic matter at high energy density as realized in heavy-ion collisions. Written by experienced researchers and experimentalists this reference examines the basic properties and potentials of the machine detectors and software required for physics analyses. The book starts with a basic introduction to the standard model and its applications to the phenomena observed at high energy collisions. Later chapters describe the key technological challenges facing the construction of the LHC machine the operating detectors of the LHC and the vast computing grid needed to analyze the data. In the final sections the contributors discuss the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) explore questions and predictions for the LHC program and examine the physics opportunities of the LHC using information from the forward region. By surveying the difficult challenges of the LHC development while also assessing the novel processes that the LHC will perform Large Hadron Collider Phenomenology aids less seasoned physicists as well as existing researchers in discovering the numerous possibilities of the LHC.

Truth: The Basics

Truth: The Basics

Truth: The Basics is a concise and engaging introduction to philosophical theories about the nature of truth. The two authors – leading philosophers in this field – build the book around a single question: what if anything is common to all truths which makes them true? The book explores five important answers (‘theories’) to the given question: correspondence semantic verifiability transparency and plurality. For each given theory the following questions are addressed: What is the theory’s answer to the central question? What is the basic motivation behind that answer? What is a precise argument for that answer? What are the biggest objections to that answer? What are a few good resources for understanding more about the theory? An additional chapter provides an extensive introduction to the notorious liar paradox. Truth: The Basics is an ideal starting point for anyone seeking a lively and accessible introduction to the rich and complex philosophical study of truth. Key Features: Written in a clear and concise fashion Clearly explains five major theories of truth for an uninitiated readership of undergraduate students and general readers Prepares the reader to tackle more advanced work in truth studies Makes connections between truth and other areas of philosophy including the philosophy of language semantics metaphysics logic and epistemology Includes technical appendices for more advanced readers

The Ecological Self

The Ecological Self

Environmental disasters from wildfires and vanishing species to flooding and drought have increased dramatically in recent years and debates about the environment are rarely far from the headlines. There is growing awareness that these disasters are connected – indeed that in the fabric of nature everything is interconnected. However until the publication of Freya Mathews' The Ecological Self there had been remarkably few attempts to provide a conceptual foundation for such interconnectedness that brought together philosophy and science. In this acclaimed book Mathews skilfully weaves together a thought-provoking metaphysics of the environment. She connects the ideas of the seventeenth-century philosopher Spinoza with twentieth-century systems theory and Einstein’s physics to argue that the atomistic cosmology inherited from Newton gave credence to a picture of the universe as fragmented rather than as whole. Furthermore it is such faulty thinking that presents human beings as similarly disconnected and individualistic with the dire consequence that they regard nature as of purely instrumental rather than intrinsic value. She concludes by arguing for an ethics of ecological interdependence and for a basic egalitarianism among living species. A compelling and fascinating account of how we must change our thinking about the environment The Ecological Self is a classic of ecological and environmental thinking. This Routledge Classics edition includes a substantial new Introduction by the author.
